Let's start there. 39:37.700 --> 39:41.700 That is a black-faced, silver face. 39:41.700 --> 39:43.700 It's a 74. 39:43.700 --> 39:45.700 The flames come out of that thing? 39:45.700 --> 39:47.700 Is it loud? 39:47.700 --> 39:51.700 It's one of the quieter amps I have, that's why I brought it tonight. 39:51.700 --> 39:53.700 What about this, Telecaster? 39:53.700 --> 39:55.700 Everything I do is fake. 39:55.700 --> 39:59.700 Oh, he's pulling my leg, isn't he? 39:59.700 --> 40:01.700 This is called a relic. 40:01.700 --> 40:03.700 It's a relic, and it's... 40:03.700 --> 40:04.700 It is. 40:04.700 --> 40:07.700 What year? That always means something. 40:07.700 --> 40:10.700 2006 or 2008, something like that. 40:10.700 --> 40:12.700 You beat that thing up. 40:12.700 --> 40:14.700 No, that's the way it came. 40:14.700 --> 40:16.700 I take pristine care of it. 40:16.700 --> 40:19.700 Okay, what about this one? That one's your favorite, I can tell. 40:19.700 --> 40:21.700 That's another new one. 40:21.700 --> 40:28.700 The story behind this, they reissued these, or actually this isn't a reissue, it's a tribute, 1960s gold top. 40:28.700 --> 40:34.700 Ever since my mom took me into the first music store when I was probably, I don't know, eight years old, nine, 40:34.700 --> 40:38.700 took me in to buy me a trumpet, there was a gold top sitting in the corner. 40:38.700 --> 40:40.700 You wanted one ever since. 40:40.700 --> 40:41.700 Ever since. 40:41.700 --> 40:44.700 I finally got one because they're cheap. 40:44.700 --> 40:46.700 There wasn't a grand for that. 40:46.700 --> 40:48.700 Well, that opens up a door. What about your mom? 40:48.700 --> 40:52.700 Is there a person in your life that opened up music for you like that? Was it mom? 40:52.700 --> 40:53.700 Mm-hmm. 40:53.700 --> 40:54.700 Tell me about that. 40:54.700 --> 40:55.700 Mom and my aunts. 40:55.700 --> 40:56.700 Yeah, your aunts. 40:56.700 --> 40:57.700 Mm-hmm, two of them anyway. 40:57.700 --> 41:01.700 Tell me more. Were they piano players, singers? What was going on? 41:01.700 --> 41:05.700 Yeah, singers, piano players, not professionally. 41:05.700 --> 41:08.700 Played the radio, DJ? 41:08.700 --> 41:20.700 Yeah. You know, ever since I was young, young, probably two years old, I developed my own turntable in the kitchen with mom's mix master. 41:20.700 --> 41:23.700 Wow, so you were serious at home about your music. 41:23.700 --> 41:30.700 Yeah, you know, I was already a DJ at two, playing my own platters, which they literally were platters. 41:30.700 --> 41:40.700 And about, I don't know, about four years old, the piano, my mom walked in the living room one day and she says, I was sitting at the piano playing. 41:40.700 --> 41:45.700 She said, Dean, where did you learn that? And I said, off the TV. 41:45.700 --> 41:50.700 I was listening to American Bandstand or something and I was playing part note for note. 41:50.700 --> 41:53.700 I don't remember, but she's always said that. 41:53.700 --> 42:02.700 So your mom had a lot to do with you getting into music. What about guitar? Was there a particular person that said, this is the instrument, and it opened your mind up? 42:02.700 --> 42:07.700 I just, I didn't have a girlfriend. I wanted one. 42:07.700 --> 42:09.700 No, I don't know. 42:09.700 --> 42:21.700 My brother was a big musical influence on me and he bought me my first guitar, Sears Roebuck. 42:21.700 --> 42:27.700 That was a harmony, yeah, the Sears Silver Tone Harmony, 1295 or something. 42:27.700 --> 42:29.700 They're keepers, man. They're keepers. 42:29.700 --> 42:31.700 He bought me that and that's what got me started. 42:31.700 --> 42:33.700 Changed your life, huh? 42:33.700 --> 42:34.700 Pretty much. 42:34.700 --> 42:36.700 You big brother changed your life. Is it big brother? 42:36.700 --> 42:37.700 Yes. 42:37.700 --> 42:42.700 You also talked about a couple of record albums that changed your life. The Bloomfield Cooper LP. 42:42.700 --> 42:48.700 The Double Live. That was a big one. I wore a couple of those out. 42:48.700 --> 42:52.700 Did Bloomfield influence your guitar player? 42:52.700 --> 43:04.700 I don't know. I was so into fusion and jazz at the time that I wasn't, well, I never listened to guitar players anyway to learn from. 43:04.700 --> 43:10.700 Early on Led Zeppelin and all the typical stuff. Yeah, exactly. 43:10.700 --> 43:20.700 Later on it was mostly drummers, piano players and trumpet players, which I quit playing trumpet, but that's what I listened to mostly. 43:20.700 --> 43:22.700 So do you play more than guitar? 43:22.700 --> 43:23.700 I'm sorry? 43:23.700 --> 43:25.700 Do you play more than a guitar? 43:25.700 --> 43:29.700 Drums and bass and just a tiny bit of keyboards. 43:29.700 --> 43:31.700 You play everything, don't you? 43:31.700 --> 43:35.700 We hate people like you, just kidding. 43:35.700 --> 43:38.700 So you're a musical mongrel as you describe yourself. 43:38.700 --> 43:40.700 Yeah. Many styles. 43:40.700 --> 43:47.700 Many styles, many instruments. You do this full time? All you guys do full time, huh? 43:47.700 --> 43:49.700 So what's with you, Dean? 43:49.700 --> 43:52.700 I repair office chairs during the day. 43:52.700 --> 43:56.700 I'm going to bust your chops on that, man. You should be playing this thing full time. I'm sorry, am I right? 43:56.700 --> 43:58.700 Can I hear you say yeah? 43:58.700 --> 43:59.700 Yeah! 43:59.700 --> 44:01.700 Yeah, all right. I knew you were there. 44:01.700 --> 44:07.700 Pure Food and Drug Act with Harvey Mandel and Don Sugarcane Harris. I remember that. 44:07.700 --> 44:08.700 Another big one. 44:08.700 --> 44:09.700 You remember that? 44:09.700 --> 44:10.700 For me. 44:10.700 --> 44:11.700 Okay, you're not old enough. 44:11.700 --> 44:14.700 That was recorded right here in Seattle at the – do you know the name of the place? 44:14.700 --> 44:16.700 K-Smith or something? 44:16.700 --> 44:21.700 No, it was at a tavern off of 45th, right off 45th and I-5. 44:21.700 --> 44:25.700 The Blue Moon? Had to be the Blue Moon. Or the Rainbow, the Fabulous Rainbow. 44:25.700 --> 44:27.700 That might have been the Rainbow that was recorded. 44:27.700 --> 44:29.700 The Fabulous Rainbow Tavern. 44:29.700 --> 44:32.700 My soul's on fire. That was a big one for me. 44:32.700 --> 44:35.700 It was the Fabulous. It had to be the Fabulous Rainbow. 44:35.700 --> 44:38.700 Okay, so let's talk about – we talked about gear. What about your songs? 44:38.700 --> 44:43.700 You have a couple of originals you started with, the Silver Spoon song. 44:43.700 --> 44:45.700 That's personal, isn't it? 44:45.700 --> 44:46.700 Could be. 44:46.700 --> 44:49.700 I'm not going there. 44:49.700 --> 44:55.700 Hanging on is useless. Most of it's – most of all, it's painful. That's a true statement. 44:55.700 --> 44:56.700 Yeah. 44:56.700 --> 44:58.700 That's what the blues is all about, huh? 44:58.700 --> 45:02.700 That was written about two years ago in Vegas after some stuff happened. 45:02.700 --> 45:04.700 You spent some time in Vegas. 45:04.700 --> 45:06.700 That was my payback. 45:06.700 --> 45:09.700 Oh, comebacks up. 45:09.700 --> 45:12.700 Well, you know, I don't carry a grudge. 45:12.700 --> 45:13.700 You don't carry what? 45:13.700 --> 45:15.700 I don't carry a grudge. 45:15.700 --> 45:18.700 Okay. 39 Days, that's another original? 45:18.700 --> 45:19.700 No. 45:19.700 --> 45:22.700 Oh, okay. Who wrote that one? 45:22.700 --> 45:23.700 I don't remember. 45:23.700 --> 45:25.700 Oh, I busted him. 45:25.700 --> 45:27.700 Mike somebody. Okay, good. 45:27.700 --> 45:32.700 I loved your arrangement of Crossroads. Tell me how you got to that. 45:32.700 --> 45:37.700 Well, just through about four, five, six different arrangements of it. 45:37.700 --> 45:42.700 We just – actually, at rehearsal, we came up with the drum group. Dave did. 45:42.700 --> 45:44.700 And, you know – 45:44.700 --> 45:45.700 Always starts with the drummer. 45:45.700 --> 45:46.700 Just came together. 45:46.700 --> 45:47.700 It doesn't with Dave. 45:47.700 --> 45:49.700 Without me, it's just folk music. 45:49.700 --> 45:52.700 Oh, give me that quote, man. 45:52.700 --> 45:57.700 I'm just saying, without me, it's just folk music. 45:57.700 --> 46:00.700 Oh, Dave Jeddy. Now, Dave, you're sitting here without your shoes on. 46:00.700 --> 46:03.700 Do you always play naked? No. 46:03.700 --> 46:05.700 Just from the ankle down. 46:05.700 --> 46:08.700 And why? Was there someone who taught you that or something? 46:08.700 --> 46:11.700 It's just – I grew up in Texas. It's hot. 46:11.700 --> 46:15.700 And that's just one less piece of clothing you have to have on. 46:15.700 --> 46:19.700 Oh, there's so many more questions I could dig into from that. 46:19.700 --> 46:24.700 Wait. Are you going to the IBC finals? Is that what I heard? 46:24.700 --> 46:29.700 We have advanced to the WBS finals. Yeah, in Snohomish. 46:29.700 --> 46:31.700 So we're going up there. Yep. 46:31.700 --> 46:35.700 So you made the first cut, as it were, for the International Blues Challenge. 46:35.700 --> 46:37.700 Everybody trying to go to Memphis these days. 46:37.700 --> 46:39.700 And you guys got a good chance with this band. 46:39.700 --> 46:40.700 Oh, I hope so. 46:40.700 --> 46:44.700 Big show coming up on August 19th in Snohomish. 46:44.700 --> 46:51.700 James King and the Southsiders. Rafael is going to be there. 46:51.700 --> 46:54.700 So how did you get into playing the bass? 46:54.700 --> 47:00.700 I just grew up in a musical family, and that was the chair that needed to be filled. 47:00.700 --> 47:04.700 So, yeah. But I kind of learned by watching. 47:04.700 --> 47:08.700 I played in church, and there was a B3 in front of me. 47:08.700 --> 47:12.700 And I'd taken piano lessons when I was six years old. 47:12.700 --> 47:14.700 The man said, watch my feet. 47:14.700 --> 47:19.700 So I'd watch his play keys with his feet, and I knew the notes. 47:19.700 --> 47:22.700 So that's how I learned the notes on the bass. 47:22.700 --> 47:25.700 The 1-4-5-4 came out, right? And the feet there. 47:25.700 --> 47:28.700 I can relate to that. I grew up with a mom doing organ in a church. 47:28.700 --> 47:30.700 And the same thing, I was down there at her feet. 47:30.700 --> 47:33.700 Totally know that story firsthand. 47:33.700 --> 47:35.700 So how old were you then? 47:35.700 --> 47:37.700 Oh, I was probably in early teens. 47:37.700 --> 47:44.700 And then I played drums in high school, went to college, and then here I am. 47:44.700 --> 47:46.700 Well now, when did you get into this professionally, 47:46.700 --> 47:50.700 and when did you know you had to do it professionally? 47:50.700 --> 47:54.700 I'm an electrician by trade, so that's always treated me. 47:54.700 --> 47:56.700 I've always had that. 47:56.700 --> 48:01.700 But I played from 20 years old on. I was pretty busy. 48:01.700 --> 48:06.700 And then when I moved up in this area, I've been very busy the last 15 years or so. 48:06.700 --> 48:08.700 In this area, yeah. 48:08.700 --> 48:11.700 You also sing, Steve, as well as play the keyboards. 48:11.700 --> 48:14.700 And you have two Nords over there. 48:14.700 --> 48:19.700 Two Nords. I've seen a Nord before, but never have I seen someone with two Nords. 48:19.700 --> 48:21.700 This is the brand of keyboard I'm talking about. 48:21.700 --> 48:24.700 These are great. They sound like a Hammond organ. 48:24.700 --> 48:26.700 Tell me about your gear there. 48:26.700 --> 48:28.700 Yeah, they really do an outstanding job. 48:28.700 --> 48:30.700 They're a Swedish company. 48:30.700 --> 48:33.700 The bottom keyboard just does Hammond B3. 48:33.700 --> 48:38.700 And in other organs, it does Farpisa, the cheesy Italian organs from the 60s. 48:38.700 --> 48:40.700 And it also does a really good pipe organ. 48:40.700 --> 48:42.700 But mainly B3 is what people use them for. 48:42.700 --> 48:48.700 And the top keyboard does B3 as well, but you have weighted keys for the piano. 48:48.700 --> 48:54.700 And you can't play the B3 on the piano because you have to do all these smears and these run-ups. 48:54.700 --> 48:57.700 And it's just a whole other action. 48:57.700 --> 49:01.700 So that's why I drive around so much gear, to be more authentic. 49:01.700 --> 49:04.700 You do this full-time. What got you into the keyboards? 49:04.700 --> 49:07.700 It's funny listening to Dean's story. 49:07.700 --> 49:10.700 I've never really talked to him about that, but it's really similar. 49:10.700 --> 49:13.700 My mom played, just played by ear. 49:13.700 --> 49:16.700 We always had a piano in the house, five or six. 49:16.700 --> 49:19.700 I just picked it up, had a good ear for it. 49:19.700 --> 49:21.700 Never really took lessons. 49:21.700 --> 49:24.700 I just kind of always learned off records. 49:24.700 --> 49:28.700 And back in the old days, you could check out big records from the library. 49:28.700 --> 49:34.700 And I would check those out and learn classical songs or whatever I could find. 49:34.700 --> 49:36.700 Way to go. Well, you got the chops. 49:36.700 --> 49:42.700 Never a lesson. I'm so sorry. 49:42.700 --> 49:44.700 That's right. And we both grew up in Vancouver, Washington. 49:44.700 --> 49:45.700 Both of you, too? 49:45.700 --> 49:47.700 Never met until up here. 49:47.700 --> 49:52.700 And you didn't know that about, oh, what a 10-minute interview will do. 49:52.700 --> 49:54.700 That's right. 49:54.700 --> 49:56.700 Steve Thorpe on the keyboards. 49:56.700 --> 49:58.700 I could ask you some more questions, but we're running out of time here. 49:58.700 --> 50:00.700 Dave Jeddy on the drums. 50:00.700 --> 50:01.700 I love you, man. 50:01.700 --> 50:03.700 Scott Simmons on the bass. 50:03.700 --> 50:08.700 You can find Dave and Steve in the Jonathan Harris band. 50:08.700 --> 50:13.700 No, I'm sorry, Dave and Scott in the Jonathan Harris country band. 50:13.700 --> 50:15.700 But this is the Dean Reichert band. 50:15.700 --> 50:19.700 Dean Reichert on guitar. 50:19.700 --> 50:47.700 It's called There's a Better Life. 50:47.700 --> 50:56.700 What is a man supposed to do when she just won't play by rules? 50:56.700 --> 51:01.700 Longer than night, laying on the lawn. 51:01.700 --> 51:05.700 Keep your pain warm, holding on. 51:05.700 --> 51:18.700 Says I'm a business, I think. 51:18.700 --> 51:19.700 It's a lack of communication. 51:19.700 --> 51:20.700 I'm begging in my business. 51:20.700 --> 51:43.700 There's a better life for me. 51:43.700 --> 51:49.700 When is a game just played to lose? 51:49.700 --> 51:53.700 Holding on for too long. 51:53.700 --> 51:59.700 What was this thing you were trying to prove? 51:59.700 --> 52:02.700 What you did was just wrong. 52:02.700 --> 52:05.700 Holding on is useless. 52:05.700 --> 52:08.700 It's painful. 52:08.700 --> 52:11.700 Most of all, it's painful. 52:11.700 --> 52:15.700 Holding on is useless. 52:15.700 --> 52:21.700 I know there's a better life. 52:21.700 --> 52:26.700 There was a time when I knew you. 52:26.700 --> 52:31.700 I remember a day. 52:31.700 --> 52:59.700 There was a dream that went away. 52:59.700 --> 53:02.700 I remember a day. 53:02.700 --> 53:03.700 There was a dream that went away. 53:03.700 --> 53:30.700 There was a dream that went away. 53:30.700 --> 53:45.700 There was a dream that went away. 53:45.700 --> 53:55.700 What is a man supposed to do when you just won't play by the rules? 53:55.700 --> 54:00.700 Night after night sitting home alone. 54:00.700 --> 54:04.700 Keep your pain warm, holding up on. 54:04.700 --> 54:10.700 Says I'm a business, I think. 54:10.700 --> 54:13.700 It's a lack of communication. 54:13.700 --> 54:17.700 I'm begging in my business. 54:17.700 --> 54:23.700 I know, yes I know. 54:23.700 --> 54:26.700 Holding on is useless. 54:26.700 --> 54:29.700 It's painful. 54:29.700 --> 54:32.700 Most of all, it's painful. 54:32.700 --> 54:35.700 Telling us ain't for. 54:35.700 --> 55:04.700 I know, yes I know. 55:04.700 --> 55:22.700 I know, yes I know. 55:22.700 --> 55:23.700 Steve Thorpe won the keyboards. 55:23.700 --> 55:35.700 Thank you very much. 55:53.700 --> 56:18.700 Thank you. 56:18.700 --> 56:34.700 Thank you. 56:48.700 --> 57:12.700 Thank you. 57:18.700 --> 57:43.700 Thank you. 57:43.700 --> 58:10.700 Thank you.
